Unapologetically you

 

"Music is one of the most potent ways to create a mood, and if you need a boost, there's nothing better than blasting all your favourite tracks. That's what inspired us to look at these playlists and see which classics we keep coming back to for that powerful feeling. One thing all these songs have in common? Forget worrying about how to be confident or playing by the rules. Instead, focus all your energy on being unapologetically YOU. Indulge in what makes you happy, celebrate yourself and embrace the things that make you feel empowered. The whole mood behind our 'Loving You for You' campaign this Christmas is that we want women everywhere to really spoil themselves and take a moment to feel like they deserve it." – Sophie Shiret, Head of Marketing at Boux Avenue
